HAUNTED BY SPOOKS.
The Strange Complaint Made by Eme-
line Unruh.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ne,cs.


From the PhiIddelphia Netus.
Emeline Unruh, of Germantown, who
claims to be the victim of unholy witch
craft, filed remarkable bill in equity in
the Common Pleas Court yesterday after
noon. The story as set forth by the oratrix
is an interesting one and savors of the days
of Roger Williams, when death at the stake
would have been the portion Of the accused.
The bill is as follows:
"Your oratrix complains: First, that
your oratrix, resident of Germantown, in
the Twenty-second ward of the city of
Philadelphia, had been from 1888, to
MAY, 1887, sick, enfeebled, and her mind
had become greatly impaired by physical
prostration as to render her helpless and
unfit to transact any business whatever, and
whilst so Frustrated, both physically and
mentally, your oratrix was under the care,
control, custody, direction and in
fuence of Bridget E. Nichols, who
acted in the capacity of domes-
tic servant for her. Second, while
under such control, care, custody, direction
and influence the said Bridget +. Nichols
for the purpose of cheating and defrauding
your oratrix out of large sums of money,
falsely and fraudulently induced her to be
lieve that spell had been put upon her by
some invisible power; that until certain
things would be accomplished by parties
whom she knew had the power to remove
spells, she would never get better; that it
would require considerable money to re-
move them, as the parties resided in distant
lands, and could be reached only by tele-
graph: that each telegram would cost at least
from SIC to S1S, which sums We're paid by
her to the said Bridget f. Nichols, on
various occasions. Third, the said Bridget
f. Nichols, well knowing the weak and en-
feebled condition of your oratrixs mind,
and her utter inability to either take care
of herself or her property, or resist the evil
influences of said defendant, did fraudu-
lently and unlawfully combine, conspire
and agree with one Alice Mcguire, late
Alice Jordan, and colored physician,
known by the name of DR.. Hall, now de-
ceased, to obtain, eStort, defraud and
cheat, by false and fraudulent representa-
tions, witchery and trickery, your oratrix
out of large sums Of money, aggregating
about Si,026.
GHosTLY MANIFESTATIONS.
"Fourth, that in order TO operate more eff
fectually on the weak aud enfeebled condi-
ton of your oratI'ixs mind and impress her
with the importance and necessity Of re-
moving the supposed spells, the said defend
of,ts. BY contYivaDces then unknown TO your
oratrix, calised loud and strange voices, to
gether with loud rqppings and other unnat-
frnl manifestations 70 ainanate from va
rious parts Of your oratrix's residence; and
TO further intimidnto her the said defend
ants procured, or caused 10 be pro
cured numerous cats and other ami
mails, plncing them in her house, thereby
causing, to her great annoyance, hideous
yells and unearthly screaming, for the pcr-
pose. as your oratrix has sl1ce discovered.

DALLAS must have the st. Louis, Arkansas
and Texas. Wanting 1t, Dallas will, of course,
get 1t. That's what she does when she wants
anything Dallas Times.
How are you going to get it unless Fort
Worth says so? The road has given Fort
Worth until next Saturday night to say
whether or not we want the road to run
from Greenville via Plano and Grape
vine to this city. If we fail
to comply with the conditions then, per-
haps, the road will make Dallas q propo-
sition to run from Sulphur Springs. But
wait till Fort Worth fails, neighbor, and
while you are waiting scrape your MEM
DRY for an instance where Fort Worth
failed to secure railroad for which it
strived. 1t is THE GAzETTE's private
opinion that Dallas might as well be pre-
pairing to get that "spur" which it sWore
it wouldn't have. BranchtoWn will be

of the freshet of immigration could be
turned. Hence its effect was not seriously
felt in flooding our labor markets. But
this natural receptacle is now nearly
filed. Those who are coming will not
have the inducements offered to them to
go the unbroken prairie lands of the far
west that were presented to their prede-
cessors few years ago. 1t is probable
that much larger proportion of them
will stay in centers of work in the east,
and endesvor to obtain employment here;
and if it is true that for the same quanti-
ty and quality of work we are paying
twice as much as is given on the other
side of the Atlantic, is it not
inevitable that these newcomers will
consider themselves fortunate if they
can find employment ct an advance of so
per cent. upon their former pay? This is
where the law of supply and demand is
likely to come into play, and we should
not be surprised if it's effect was not only
to prevent much advance in the current
rates of wages, but to make their main
tenance at their present point an exceed
ingly difficult operation. This is a serious
matter, and yet we have not seen any
suggestion from the labor organizations
as to means of solving the problem.

FORELGN. LMzIGRATION.

Boston Herald: The Improvement in
business and the increase in the average
rate of wages in this country are having
their ordinary results in attracting to
the United States an immense army of
new workers. Workingmen frequent
~ object to the assertion that in con-
siderable degree the rates of wages are
controlled by the law of supply and de-
mand, and yet, if in the next two years,
as is not unlikely, 100000 emigrants
leave Europe for this country, it does not
seem possible that their demand for work
will have no effect in determining
the rate of wages given. In any other
country but our own such an influx of
labor would totally demoralize wages;
but hitherto our natural resources have
enabled US to find new channels of oc-
cupation for most of the newcomers.
But it is well to bear in mind that in this
respect we are less fayorably situated
now than we were few years ago. The
unoccupied public land, which could be
had almost for asking, was like vast
empty reservoir, into which great part

For health's sake give US pure water. 1t is
believed the Council will first settle the water
works plan and then go to paving streets. This
is well. First give the town pure water, or pre-
pare for pure water. People Will not die with
bad streets. Thev may die under the present
water supply.-[Dallas Times.
THE GAZETTE joins It's esteemed con-
temporary in an appeal to the City Coun-
Gil of Dallas for "pure water for health's
sake" Should the cholera or any ether
such disease DE attracted to Dallas by
it's present filthy water supply, Fort
Worth and all Texas would suffer.
Therefore we pray that Dallas may be
supplied with some other water than that
of the Trinity river, which stream carries
down the sewage of Fort Worth. ..

WAS it not a paper printed in Dallas
that said no railroad could afford to go
by that place without stopping7 Perhaps
there are some people in Fort Worth who
may have imagined the same vain thing
of this city. Be that as it may, the St.
Louis, Arkansas and Texas now says to
Fort Worth: "GIve us the right of way
and we will come to you from Greenville,
leaving Dallas fifteen miles to the south. s"
If Fort Worth fails, then the road will
say to Dallas: "Give US that s and
we will come to you from Sulphur
Springs" One railroad, at least, can
live without stopping at either place.

The Democratic nominee for Governor of
Kentucky, General S. B. Buckner, was promi
nently connected with the first substantial Fed
eral victory of the war. That is t. say, he was
the Confederate commander who surrendered
on that interesting and memorable occasion,
and watched Grants army march proudly into
Fort Donelson.- st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Don't you think that's rather small
business in newspaper printed twenty
five years after the occurrence alluded to,
and when the death of the leader of the
warmly clad army that marched proudly
into Dover was sincerely mourned by
many of the men who stood bare-footed
in the snow on the day when their hopes
were crushed? Don't you think, now,
that political ghoul is as despicable as
the bodY-snatcher for medical colleges?

In short while we will be able to speculate
on another railroad. There is going to be a
northwest extension of the st. Louis and Texas
from Corsicana that will evidently be secured
by the citizens of Glen Rose, and If It ever
reaches that point, Granbury may count on
having the road The iGeA for building such a
road is to encircle Fort Worth and cut off traf-
ic to that point, by opening direct southern
outlet and main trunk line to eastern and
southern cities. Now, Granbury and Glen
Rose are the most available points where this
design could be accomplished. The above
scheme is on foot and a few days will develop
what is in 1T Granbury News.
Dearly beloved, you must always take
schemes to ''encircle Fort Worth" cum
grano sails. This town is in the encir-
cling business just now, and you may de-
pend upon it that what you say is all
sound and fury, signifying nothing. THE
GAZETTE will tell you when that road
goes further west than Hillsboro, at which
town it will stop and rest awhile. And,
by the way, HillsboTo is going to be
splendid town.

BIT ONE THING TO DO.

At the meeting of the directors of the
st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railroad
at Texarkana it was resolved that if
Greenville, Plano and Fort Worth COM
piled with certain conditions the road
would be built at once along the line indi-
Gated, reaching Fort Worth by the first
day of September. Ten days were given
the places named for reply. The time al
lowed expires next Sunday. THE GA
ZETTE believes that every citizen real
ICES the benefits to Fort Worth involved
in the building of this road, and the in
jury to the city if we fail to get it. It
would have been better for Fort Worth
had no proposition been made than that
the city should fail to accept it. We
must not fail; there is but one thing to
do and that is to accept.

Don't be so impetuous. Couldn't there
be a cold wave at Duluth and hot spell
at Louisville D.? Couldn't there be drouth
in Massachusetts and a food in Ohio
And all at the same time? Well, now,
that's Texas. This is state, and no
little oue-horse Rhode Island. "The
drouth," by the way, was confined to a

"the food" was general over a territory as

THE PROHIBITION CANVASS.

The course of the Fort Worth GAZETTE in
this prohibition campaign is more to be COM
mended than that of any leading daily paper in
the state. It has not accused everyone who
differed with the policy of that paper of being
fanatic or a demagogue; has not traduced or
abused public men for taking position on one
side or the other; has not tried to introduce
rancor and bitterness into the campaign or
anything of that sort, but on the contrary has
pursued policy of fairness, moderation and
tolerance of opinion, and has maintained a
character for intelligent, high minded journal
ism throughout. There is no reason for disrup-
ton of the Democratic party to be apprehended
when 1t has broad and liberal opponents like
THE GAZETTE.-[G Gainesville Register.
THE GAZETTE very highly appreciates
the commentator of the Register. THE
GAZETTE is Democratic and knows there
will be need of Democratic unity when
this election is over; THE GAZETTE
works for Fort Worth and Texas and
knows there will be need of unity among
all the workers when this election is over.
Therefore it was THE GAZETTE opposed
the mad folly of dragging the Democracy
as party into this contest, and therefore
it is THE GAZETTE urges moderation and
tolerance and fair, honest dis
cussion of prohibition. The question is
one over which men may be easily in
famed, and the debate should be restrict
edto the text without appeal to passion or
to prejudice. Texas will be here after
the first Thursday in August, it's people
will be here and the Democratic party
will be here, and this canvass should be
conducted by all with view to the duties
and responsibilities and Iabors that will
devolve on all when this election is over.
The man or the newspaper that attempts
to inject into this canvass eXtraneous dis
cussion or to put the issue on false
plane is no true friend to Texas, to its
progress and to its Democracy. The
man or the newspaper that attempts to
apply to this canvass the small arts Of
the politicaster is no true friend to Texas.
The issue is clearly made up, and
all efforts to obscure it can only
tend to infame the discussion and
madden the people while doing little to
affect the result. The party that sticks
closest to it's text and guards the issue
most jealousy from perversion will win
most friends st the ballot-box; and the
party that distracts and divides the peo-
pie and infames them with demagogical
appeals and distortions of fact and per-
version of motive and action, and ex-
cites men to elimination and recrimina-
ton, will lead the host that strikes the
earth with dull thud next August.

THE Illinois House of Representatives
has passed bill by vote of So to 40
prohibiting base ball playing on Sunday.
On the whole, we think the line has been
drawn at the right place. There is such
thing as making too strict Sunday laws,
which are not and cannot be enforced;
such laws are to be found on the statute
books of nearly all of the states. Ball
playing on Sunday, however, is some
thing that is unnecessary to either the
health or the moral or intellectual eleva-
ton of the people.
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-05-08

THERE are arguments being used in
this prohibition canvass that would dis
credit the juvenile debates in log school
house. There are men of reputed intelli-
gence in Texas, writer's, orators and
editors, who use arguments that not only
shame their own regulations, but insult
the common sense of those to whom such
arguments are addressed. THE GA
zETTE -begs sensible anti-Prohibitionists
to give up the. 'tobacco" and "cofee"
arguments. 1t is unworthy of them and
their cause, end excites ridicule only. 1t
is not by such arguments as these that
men are to be convinced that the evil
effects of the retail liquor traffic do not
demand a prohibitory law.
